It's been kind of nice using the excruciating heat as a reason to nestle down inside the house with the kitties and Book and just be still. I've done a little cleaning and organizing and a bit of scrapbooking, even some computer work for school, but the days have been slow and easy.
But not entirely sedentary. Ryan and I ran in the Mammoth 5K to benefit the museum near our neighborhood tonight. I thought my head might combust from the heat (and my feet, too, actually), but we made it. Ryan finished a good deal ahead of me. Macauley stayed behind at the museum/starting line while we ran. I love that he is brave and self-sufficient like that. He also took our before (above) and after (below) shots...
I've been backtracking on his scrapbooks and finishing odd pages in each. There is one for each year of his life. Someday he will either be thrilled that his days were documented so, or he will think his mom was psycho obsessed with him. Books 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 are complete. 4 and 6 almost. 8 barely started. 9 non-existent. He will soon turn 10. Times truly flies and it's so hard to catch...
Lindsay and I are headed to Kansas City in the morning to see Lane's new house and her wedding venue and do some sister shopping and hanging out. I'll also stop by my old friend's wedding reception in Shawnee to give her this little utensil bouquet I put together for her. The OXO pieces are from her registry and the colorful bits caught my eye at Target. I tucked in some daisies and tied it all up with a bow in a white crock. Hope she likes it...

Quiet, nesting days are my favorite kind. I am getting many of those since we are on summer holiday and the heat (120 now) is keeping us inside. Congrats on doing the 5K. I miss my walks but I know exactly what you mean when you say it feels like your head will explode -- I want to pass out. Sounds like you are very organized with documenting Macauley's life. Have a great weekend. Tammy
Of course I loved it! I was just stopping by your blog, and of course, reading yours put mine to shame. I really do intend on updating it again, but until then... I will wander around my favorite blogs to feel inspired.
